Does eLiquid go off?

[JimmyJ]

Just wondering if the liquid goes off or has a use by date?

If its suddenly going to become harder to buy or taxed etc, am wondering if its worth buying a large supply now.

Think most pre-made liquid has a sell by date of a couple of years & it's best stored in the fridge if your not using it straight away, but it can be frozen very readily to extend it's life although not sure how long by.

Most people recon that you can keep e-liquid in a cool dark place for 2 years. I recon it will probably last a whole lot longer, perhaps losing a little taste or nic content though!

It should keep in the freezer indefinitely!

Many people are putting by some base nicotine liquid in their freezers just incase the worst happens so that they can then mix their own!

If you do store your eliquid in the freezer Jimmy, then it's worth decanting it into glass bottles . . . long term storage that is, 2+years.

Storing long term in plastic bottles, some flavour is likely to leech into the plastic and the nicotine strength weaken.

It doesn't freeze solid incidentally, so you don't require a sledge hammer to use it, ' frozen ' eliquid thickens somewhat. Let it come back up to room temperature, shake and you're good to use it.
